A dolphin is not nocturnal... Dolphins sleep with one half of their brain plus one eye closed, then switching to the other side of the brain and the other eye closed during other parts of the day -- slowing down everything inside their bodies and moving...in other words are not nocturnal, they hunt during the day and sleep during the night...like humans.

What are possible threats to the bottlnose dolphin?
The bottlenose dolphin has few natural predators. But some large shark species, such as the tiger shark, the dusky shark, the great white shark and the bull shark can prey on the bottlenose dolphin, especially the young.However, the bottlenose dolphin is capable of defending itself by charging at the shark; indeed, dolphin 'mobbing' behaviour of sharks can occasionally prove fatal for the shark.Even a single adult dolphin is dangerous prey for a shark of similar size. Certain (but not all) orca populations may also prey on dolphins, but this seems rare. While certain orcas that eat other mammals prey on the dolphin, other non-mammal eating orcas have been seen swimming with dolphins. Swimming in pods allows dolphins to better defend themselves against predators. Bottlenose dolphins either use complex evasive strategies to outswim their predators or they will batter the predator to death. Bottlenose dolphins will also aid injured dolphins by holding them above water for air.
